Hannah "Minxy" Minx (Hannah Wagner) grew up in Philadelphia and ate a lot of Philly cream cheese bagels. The fat from these tasty treats went straight to her bodacious double D boobs.

Then Hannah Minx spent some time in Japan doing some smoking fetish videos under the name of "LaMinxette". However she quit smoking and became Hannah "Minxy" Minx.

Hannah Minx is now famous for being some kind of Japanese-speaking, big-boobed idol for no explicable reason other than her big boobs, big blue eyes and personality.

Some of 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic gold medals will have bits of the Russian meteorite in them. A medal containing a piece of something that came from space. How cool is that? The lucky space gold will be given to athletes who win an event on February 15, 2014 (the one year anniversary of the meteor that hit Chelyabinsk). The events that qualify will be the men's 1500 meter speed skating, the women's 1000m and men's 1500 short track, the women's cross-country skiing relay, the men's K-125 ski jump, the women's super giant slalom and men's skeleton events.

What an amazing photo, captured by Curiosity from the surface of Mars, August 1, 2013. It is unmistakably Phobos. And take my word for it when I tell you that the other bright blob is Deimos. Curiosity caught them both in one shot!

Curiosity got video. Video! Here's an animation of those thumbnails that should whet your appetite for what will be coming once the data finally squeeze through the pipeline to Earth. Deimos is almost lost in the JPEG compression artifacts, but you can see it at the center, and watch Phobos actually cross right in front of it.

In the early 19th century, as more and more sailors returned from distant lands, tattooing had become highly popular in the British Navy. It spread even to the British admiralty, which has for a long time included certain royals who obtained rank. Field Marshal Earl Roberts is rumored to have expressed the opinion that “every officer in the British army should be tattooed with his regimental crest.” It not only boosted morale among the ranks, but it proved useful when identifying casualties. The Prince of Wales was tattooed with a Jerusalem Cross after visiting the Holy Land in 1862. Then, his sons, the Duke of Clarence and the Duke of York (later King George V) were tattooed by the Japanese master tattooist, Hori Chiyo.

Although much of maritime tattooing took place on board ship, sailor to sailor– the craze spawned an industry of tattoo parlors in port cities in Britain and the United States, and indeed, around the world. Many of the proprietors of early tattoo shops were sailors who had come ashore. Famed British tattoo artist George Burchett learned his craft with an early stint in the service. By the end of the 19th century, it was estimated that ninety percent of British and American sailors had tattoos, according to some sources.

The anchor remains the favorite tattoo of sailors, and is still one of the most popular designs worldwide– usually placed on the upper arm, just like Popeye. Tattoos of a sailor’s ship were like a badge of honor that proudly displayed his feelings of patriotism and comradery. And of course, Images of naked women were a major hit too– that is until the brass issued their ‘obscene’ warning. After that, naval applicants could have their hopes dashed by showing up with too much ‘skin’ on their skin. Tattoo artists did a booming business covering the scantily-clad hula girls with grass skirts.

In GOODSTUFF's opinion - I can't help but think there many "prism" type data bases operating on many different levels. Also the fog of war concept, from the Minister of Misinformation, in the future all media citations must fit within strictly defined classifications: unnamed, well-placed, unnamed well-placed, unofficial, official unnamed, unnamed reliable, well-placed reliable, and official unnamed well-placed
